Shahi Pudding

Having turned vegetarian I try to innovate in my cooking as far as possible. Paneer has been used to bake, roast, grill, cook and I decided to use it in a dessert by camouflaging it by grating and steeping in syrup. A rich Indian pudding but not very heavy on the tummy. It is a surefire hit every time .

Ingredients:

1 liter milk

1cup sugar

½ cup water

5 tbsp custard powder

1 tsp Vanilla essence

5 cardamoms

½ cup blanched and chopped nuts

½ cup cream

100gms paneer grated or tiny cubes

Method:

Boil milk for some time on slow heat.

Meanwhile mix sugar and water and heat till sugar has dissolved completely, add grated paneer to the syrup till the mixture starts coating the spoon.
